'Tobi's fever is getting worst every minute, maybe I should remove his mask.' Sakura thought. She was about to gently remove the mask, but a gloved hand suddenly gripped her wrist.

"Tobi! You're awake!" Sakura said in surprise. "Now that isn't very good now is it, Sa-ku-ra-chan." Tobi said in a deeper voice. Sakura's eyes narrowed at this. She retrieved her wrist from Tobi's grip and took a step back from him. "Who are you?! Tobi never calls me Sakura!" Sakura told him, glaring at him.

Tobi removed his mask half way from his mouth, making Sakura see a smirk. He removed his mask all the way. Sakura's eyes widened at this as she took another step back in fear. "Obito." Sakura said.

Obito stood up from his sit and walked towards Sakura with a smirk on his face. Sakura took few more steps backwards, until she was pinned on the wall by Obito. Obito's smirk grew wider as he saw fear in Sakura's eyes. He lowered his head to her ear level, a smirk still present on his face.

"Scared, my little cherry blossom?" He said, clearly amused. This amusement pissed Sakura off though. She gripped Obito's forehead with her palm, effectively covering both his eyes. Sakura pushed him down the bed and said "Shut up and sleep Obito!"

This action made Obito stare at Sakura in shock. 'She's not scared.' He thought, still amused at the blossom.

"We're going back to the base when you're better." Sakura said with a bowl of cold water and a towel at hand.

"What about the mission?" Obito asked as he watch Sakura dip the towel in the water. Sakura looked at him and grinned. "I finished it." Sakura said, settling the wet towel on his forehead.

Sakura looked at Obito and realized something. "Your eyesight is worsening too, right?" She asked. Obito looked at her in shock. "How did you know?" He asked. "Based on my observations of Itachi and Sasuke. Excessively use of the Sharingan can damage your eyes. Or worse turn you blind." Sakura said.

She glanced at Obito with a smile on her face. "Go sleep, Obito. I'm going to the town." Sakura said as she walked towards the door.

She looked back and made sure Obito was asleep. Sakura smiled and walked out the door.
